Darley Abbey Parkrun #18
It was that time again, the park run time. I don’t do many park runs because I am too lazy to like my chest on fire and my breathing go beyond infinity and to ever smash that 20 minute 5km. So one Saturday morning I thought I would be lazy and do a park run […]
Darley Abbey Parkrun #2
It was the second park run of Darley Abbey only a few minutes walk from my friends’ house, so hell why not? Something to do on a Saturday morning. My last park run was a good 12 months ago at Sheffield Graves Park. I had no expectations, didn’t want a particular time just wanted to […]

Colwick Parkrun #33
At 6.30am this morning it was minus 10 degrees’ – so cold my cat climbed into the refrigerator just to warm up. A thick blanket of frost outside, a blanket that was not as snug as a bug in in rug, but as cold as a mole in a frozen hole. So onwards and downwards […]
